In the heart of the village

Aubrac tea is grown in the undergrowth of the Aubrac’s beech forests. What makes it unique is that it does not grow below an altitude of 1,000 metres, as it needs shade and cool conditions to thrive. When you brush against the leaves of this plant, you’ll notice a blend of scents with hints of mint and lemon balm. It’s a powerful aroma; it’s rare to encounter a tea with a scent like this. Did you know? It contains no caffeine, so it’s recommended for unwinding and relaxing.

The history of Aubrac tea

The people of Aubrac, who are passionate about their natural heritage, have decided to bring Aubrac tea back into the spotlight. Indeed, in 2011, the Association for the Promotion of Aubrac’s Natural Resources was founded with the aim of promoting Aubrac tea. This is the story of enthusiasts and producers committed to preserving traditions and natural products.
